You have provided a lot of data, but it doesn't show what kind of slot your motherboard has for video cards.

Older motherboards came with slots for graphics cards that used PCI slots, then came AGP slots, and now we today's PCIe slots.

Can you look at the board and see what is printed nearest the slot closest to the CPU? You are looking for something like AGP or PCIe.

Also, it would help if you could provide the motherboard's make and model? This information is usually printed somewhere on the board itself.

The Nvidia 7300gs 256MB is a PCIe card and I do have 2 PCI slots and 1 PCIex16 slot. The other card is the Radeon 9250 PCI. The mobo is a Foxconn LS-36.
Memory



The Foxconn LS-36 motherboard supports 333 and 444 MHz DDR SDRAM system memory. In small form-factor computer cases, the LS-36 can have up to 2 gigabytes of installed memory, while the small desktop and mini-tower desktop setups are capable of up to 4 gigabytes of installed memory.


Audio and Video



The Foxconn LS-36 motherboard has an integrated chip set video card, and an AC97 16-bit built-in audio card capable of both 16-bit and 20-bit digital-to-analog playback.

This is all I've been able to find via yahoo/google/and reading the board itself. I hope this helps you in aiding me in my Inquiry
